I know the feeling when I went gluten-free 4 months ago I was scared to death to eat out.  I have only eaten at 2 restaurants Wendys and only had a baked potato and Red Robin had a hamburger on gluten-free bun and steamed broccoli.  I had no issues with either place.  Hon, no need to starve yourself to death all fresh fruit and veggies, and meat not pre seasoned are all gluten free.  When I first went gluten-free I started with what I already had on hand, I was surprised with the items I found I already had that were gluten-free.  Have you checked out the safe ingredient list?  https://www.celiac.com/articles/181/1/Safe-Gluten-Free-Food-List-Safe-Ingredients/Page1.html

 

Here is another one to read:

You won't starve. You may have to fix your own food and bring it along but that's why coolers and lunch boxes were invented. :)

There are some threads on here about what foods people eat for snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, when traveling by plane, by car, ship and even a bike and a train thread. Maybe those will give you some ideas?

Thanks for the links. It just frustrating when I'm on the go. I am back in school with 3 kids 10 and under and it's so hard to pack stuff for me and have their stuff done too. I know it will get better. It's just so overwhelming right now and I am just having a very blue day. Thanks for your support

one day at a time - if you look too hard at the big picture you will go bonkers!  do some reading on here, hit the cooking forum (they have some handy lunch-to-go ideas on there just search it) and take care of you.  it's a big change, treat it as such :)   you'll be ok - you're in a good place to get advice, hugs, and just vent.  this is the place where baby steps are ok and small victories are huge.

Blue days... yes, we've all had so many of those.

 

If you need something to fill you with calories I recommend peanut butter on a gluten-free cracker or bread. Literally 20seconds preperation time, a tasty snack which is calories dense. These kept me going. Then I discovered enzymes which allowed me to digest these calories!

 

The first months are the hardest, but things will get better in terms of symptoms and getting into a rhythm of this new lifestyle.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
